My Start Menu shows all files, when I click on the button "all folders".

I was recently clean my laptop from programs & I no longer use records & uninstall unused programs. One day, while removing some unnecessary files in the Start Menu, the menu suddenly got rid of all items & records, even the Accessories folder. I tried a system restore to go back & fix the problem, but Windows will not end the function, it says cannot change the files/folders.
My main focus now on what I can't find one of my regular maintenance programs or other programs, such as calculator, which I use daily. Is it possible to restore these files, or possibly be able to find & manually add of these return programmes?

Check the Recycle Bin to see if the folders are there - then you can add them to C:\Users\\Start Menu.  Another option is to add in C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu for C:\Users\\Start Menu and who should fill up your Start menu.  If the Start Menu folder is already filled, then see the next paragraph.  But I think this process works in your situation and I would give it a try.  C:\Program Data\Microsoft\Windows\Start menu is empty if you really have a problem (I don't know how you would have deleted this file in the start - menu which should not be possible) and you will have to do it manually as described in paragraph 3 below.

If the records are not in the trash, try to connect as a different user and see if you can get a start menu.  If you can, treat this situation as a corrupt user profile.  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile and you can't use it to do this (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

Of course, you can always add them manually to C:\Users\\Start Menu by searching the executable files for the programs that you want in the start menu (it is true that a daunting task as they could be almost anywhere, and it is difficult to remember all of the programs that you have installed).  Unfortunately, if you deleted the main folder of the Menu start then there is really no choice other than a facility repair/upgrade of the system (which can give you the icons associated with Windows, but probably not the ones you have installed).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. If other procedures do not work, it is almost certain to work (at least partially).  He should at least bring your Accessories folder.  You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version on system with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled cane and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to do a slipstream drive as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

I hope this helps.  Good luck! Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

    Try to manually open the CD/DVD drive.
    Near the eject button, you will find a small hole.

    You can use a small object like staple and could push gently into this hole.

  • Why Firefox 32.0 keep invites me to put up-to-date, then failing to go beyond the ' connection to update server "when I click on the button 'update now '?

    Sometimes with annoying frequency. The new facility of 32.0 is barely a month, but it happened a few days later. I left the window update run for 20 minutes. Nothing, never. Apparently it will never truly connect you. Nor will it update automatically when I click on the line 'About' on the drop-down list in the Firefox menu bar.

    If he has problems with the update or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the version currently installed to do a fresh install of the new version.

    Your personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks and other data to personal when you uninstall and (re) install Firefox.

  • start the timeline when I click on the button

    I'm new to flash, and I need a little help to get started. I've used the Panel shares to write a code of still picture one of my calendar. When I test my movie, he remains on the home page, which is good! I also created a "enter site" button on the home page. I want to click on this button and have the beginning of the turnaround at frame 50 timeline (where will my next 'content' label). Frame 50, I want it to stop, and so on for all my labels/pages. The action takes place on the timeline is a pan across a panoramic photograph, which stops at various points.

    see you soon,

    Spaldo

    Instead of...

    gotoAndStop (50);

    use...

    Play();

    OR...

    gotoAndPlay (2);

    Note: unpredictable, sometimes the timeline need an extra push, so if this change plays, put a play(); order in the frame 2 for extra incentive.

  • Is there a way to remove the icons on my desktop without deleting the associated files when right-clicking on the icon does not offer this option?

    Most of the icons that appear on my desk I have download the new application files can be removed without uninstall or remove related files.  But when I right click on the icons that appeared after reinstalling Panda Internet Security and download of Adobe Reader software to date there is no option to remove the icon, there is rather a prompt asking you if I'm sure I want to move the file to the trash - which I did not.  When I look at 'properties', I see that the location for the two is my office.  I'm trying to reduce the visual clutter, is it possible to do?

    Hello

    Click right icon - properties - general tab - Type of file - if it is a LNK then it's only a
    Shortcut and if you DELETE it then only it is removed and the underlying program is not
    affected. To see where the program check the tab shortcut - target:.

    If she is not a LNK and is a. EXE, com, bat and others so if if you delete the file
    (which is not a shortcut) and then the program will not work. Shortcuts usually have ARROWS
    on them in the lower left corner.

    For programs that are stand-a-lone (were copied on the desktop and not installed) you
    can make files elsewhere and copy them (and other parts such as.) DLL or. CFG
    only as examples and some will have no other room) to then remove them from the
    Desktop computer. If you have any programs that were installed on the desktop, you need to uninstall
    them and their re - install elsewhere.

    I hope this helps.

  • Newbie question-hide/show content of layers when you click on the button

    HI guys, I have very limited knowledge of Flash and Action script 2, but I would like to solve this problem.

    I have an animation that shows the items highlighted in a diagram. As the elements are highlighted, the audio will play (to explain the animation). because we create for people with disabilities as possible, we have also created captions with text to audio. Thus, in separate layers, we created bubbles and text that is synchronized with the actions of animation on the screen. It is also synchronized with the audio.  We want to have a button (button close captioning) when users embed it, they see the text captions and if they push it again, they do not see the text captions.

    my questions are

    (1) what is the best way to create the effect I'm looking for?

    (2) will what order actionscript take for the button actions?

    Thank you

    That's the problem.  When click you on your button the first time, you have set the onRelease Manager.  then he works with the following clicks.

    to remedy this, use the code exactly as I gave it BUT attach it to the frame of the timeline that contains your key for the button itself.

  • Knowledge base of Firefox says that when I click on the button exceptions for blocking popup windows (Tools &gt; options &gt; content) I would like to see a list of allowed sites, but instead, it shows me the websites that are blocked.

    I need to know which sites Web is allowed so that I can remove facebook.om which I allowed to past a video.

    This list shows the sites that are blocked or allowed.

    You can open Facebook, then click on the How do I know if my connection to a Web site is secure? and then press the button "additional information". This opens the Page Info dialog box, go to he Panel permissions and change the option pop up here.

    When I go to internet banking as a clydesdale, it opens a new page to connect, but a few days ago it stopped working with the new update. Now when I click on connect, it says "FOUND the document pushed here." and clicking here opens another page of connection, but after being entered the details the page doesn't load. the same thing happens on other sites, on the other, when I click to read the messages page does nothing, and if I click to open in a new tab the same page is displayed instead.

    Theres been other people having this problem too...

    Yes, for example, that this person- https://support.mozilla.org/questions/1078226 -, but they did not post cost around if any suggestion made a difference, I appreciate your following upward.

    Here are two other things to check:

    (1) connection settings - have they been customized?

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > advanced

    Click the mini network, and then click the settings button

    The default value of 'Use system proxy settings' should follow your 'LAN' setting, as well as IE, but you can also try 'No proxy' to see if that makes a difference.

    (2) extensions - test Firefox to turn off Safe Mode

    Firefox Safe mode is a standard diagnostic tool to disable some advanced features of Firefox and extensions. More info: questions to troubleshoot Firefox in Safe Mode.

    Does not work if Firefox: Hold down the SHIFT key when you start Firefox.

    If Firefox is running: You can restart Firefox in Mode safe mode using either:

    • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > restart with disabled modules
    • Help menu > restart with disabled modules

    and OK reboot.

    Two scenarios: A small dialog box should appear. Click on 'Start mode safe' (not update).

    Any improvement?
